God will deal with His wayward children. That is a fact. It is a birth mark of a believer that when we sin God will chasten and rebuke us. I once heard these words, “God doesn’t make it so that we can’t sin, but He makes it that we can’t sin and enjoy it.” If we don’t want to endure such correction we need to be quick to confess our sins, (1 John 1:9). But, thank God, that when we do sin we know the love and feel the heaviness of His dealing with us. If there is no chastening or conviction I would put a question mark after that thing called salvation. Remember these words, “Wherefore all are partakers” (Speaks of the chastening of the born again). There is love and purpose found in the chastening and discipline from our heavenly Father.
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him: For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, wherefore all are partakers, then ye are bastards, and not sons.-Hebrews 12:5-8
